SGS Design

Based in Kent, UK, SGS Design crafts residential foyers, stair halls, and bespoke recreational interiors defined by fluid timber joinery, concealed linear lighting, and traditional millwork tailored to contemporary interventions. This portfolio serves as a strong reference for detailing continuous stair stringers that wrap into floor planes, integrating hidden accent illumination beneath stone and woodwork, or harmonizing classical wainscoting with specialized indoor sports enclosures.

Interior view of an entryway by SGS Design featuring a sweeping staircase with a black metal railing and arched steel doors opening to a bright room.

Kent | New Build

An interior residential foyer precedent showcasing classic wainscoting, a dramatic dark metal stair railing, and arched glazed double doors that draw natural light deep into the circulation space.

What we like about this project
The slender, custom-loop pattern within the stair railing seamlessly merges modern minimalism with traditional detailing.

Geometry
Perspective from the foyer looks toward an arched double door, flanked by paneled walls and anchored on the left by a carpeted staircase rising upward with vertical black balusters.
Structural guess
Timber frame residential construction with drywall partitions.
Spatial scale
Double-height volumetric foyer space at domestic scale.
Lighting
Soft, diffused daylight streams through the distant arched doorway, balanced by warm interior pendant lights hanging above the stairwell.
Atmosphere
Serene, balanced, and elegant with crisp contrasts between dark metalwork and pale walls.
Environmental context
Interior residential foyer space connecting ground floor circulation to upper levels.
Spatial experience
The transition from the enclosed entry hall moves past the vertical stair element toward a luminous, arched threshold leading to an adjacent room.
Composition rhythm
Vertical rhythms established by the slender stair balusters and tall wall paneling are countered by the strong curve of the arched entryway.
